First in the PowerPoint presentation ? an overview of releases for the rest of the year ? some with new details.
{A collectors set of all the Alien 9 manga and the DVD of the anime will be released in a box this October}
The final three episodes of Utena (37-39) will feature a commentary track by both director Kunihiko Ikuhara and mangaka Chiho Saito.
The special Liquid Art cover for the upcoming release of Cat Soup was talked about, but purposely not shown ? they want it to be a surprise. They do say that anyone who has held it can't stop playing with it.
{Peacock King ? now known as Spirit Warrior, will feature commentary by Rintaro, with the second volume finally scheduled for December.}
The third and fourth volumes of Legend of the Dragon Kings are due in October and December, sub only at $19.99 price point.
In the manga area, Popcorn Romance, a new title from Tomoko Taniguchi is scheduled for October. Later this year several earlier CPM manga titles are getting re-released in pocket size with a new $9.99 price point. Included are Call Me Princess and Aquarium, Dark Angel and Nadesico. Lady of Pharis will be released once more (not pocket sized) now with the 80 new pages from the newer Japanese printing. Its interesting to note that this manga is originally published left to right in Japan, and hence will remain that way here.
From their hentai Anime 18 line, it was announced the new Urotsukidoji will feature 5.1 sound. This will make it the first hentai to do so.
The end of the presentation was the one new licensing announcement, which we were told had just been finalized the night before, Narue no Sekai (The World of Narue).
